title: Participation of adenosine diphosphate in regulation of the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex from human heart.
abstract: Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) increases the activity of the highly purified 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (OGDC) from human heart. The degree of activation is higher at low 2-oxoglutarate concentrations. The OGDC-catalyzed reaction rate versus ADP concentration curve is S-shaped at unsaturating substrate concentration. This is a catalytic attribute of cooperativity of the sites for binding of the allosteric effector ADP.
